...all good I actually brought 2 new smart pots to try but they are only about 25 gallon pots I thinkRuby fruit thanks for stoping by as far as the shade cloth It depends on what you are useing it for I also grow Japanese maples and they do fine here untils we get towards the 100s they like more afternoon shade so I like something around 70% as for the pot I dont use it at all they love the sun it is the roots that you need to keep cool if you are growing in pots.Smart pots are fine it is the plastic that is a problem I like to cover the pots with shade cloth to keep the roots chillin.To cover a greenhouse I will have to play with that but that is not going to happen for a bit.
Wow man crazy weather up there I remember last year that late storm knocked around a lot of stuff.WELL here we go again southern oregon and no cal getting blasted with wind and crazy thunderstorms ,it just got done raining slash hailing for 20 minutes so hard it filled a 5gallon bucket in less than 10 minutes no joke .I had just got home from work and it started I pulled the light dep plants under the eve as fast as I could but it came down so fast the gutters flooded over the top and soaked them hard nothing broke but they got jacked sucks its july I thought I had some time before I had to worry about rain but the weather is not normal anymore.It is still raining but at a normal pace got the plants in the garage have lots of fans going and I blew them with my blower all I can do.Pics later in the week.
